After Twentieth Century Fox paraded out the past and future X-Men for their surprise X-Men: Days of Future Past panel at San Diego Comic-Con on Saturday, attendees in the convention center’s massive Hall H auditorium wondered how in hell Marvel Studios, who was up next, could possibly top that.

But top that, they did, thanks to Avengers and Thor star Tom Hiddleton, who appeared in his full Loki regalia, burdened with glorious purpose, before the crowd of 7,000 gathered in what he called a “meager palace of Midgard.”

Watch the full Marvel Studios panel (minus any film footage) here below; the Loki stunt appears about 3 minutes in. Also, check out our photo gallery from the event here below as well. [Updated – Marvel has released a 2 1/2-minute video of just the Loki portion of the panel, which we’ve added here below.]
